There’s already overwhelming evidence that the Yankees suck–there’s no question about it–it’s fact.
But for those who remain skeptical of this premise, here’s further proof of why the Yankees suck.
They’re getting rid of cracker jacks at Yankee Stadium in favor of Crunch ‘n Munch.
There’s no place in baseball for Crunch ‘n Munch. Are you kidding me? Cracker Jacks and baseball are virtually an institution (along with peanuts that is). This is absurd.
Here’s a few choice exceprts from a column by Sen. Fritz Hollings (D-SC)
Of course there were no weapons of mass destruction. Israel’s intelligence, Mossad, knows what’s going on in Iraq. They are the best. They have to know.
Israel’s survival depends on knowing. Israel long since would have taken us to the weapons of mass destruction if there were any or if they had been removed. With Iraq no threat, why invade a sovereign country? The answer: President Bush’s policy to secure Israel.
…
Every president since 1947 has made a futile attempt to help Israel negotiate peace. But no leadership has surfaced amongst the Palestinians that can make a binding agreement. President Bush realized his chances at negotiation were no better. He came to office imbued with one thought — re-election. Bush felt tax cuts would hold his crowd together and spreading democracy in the Mideast to secure Israel would take the Jewish vote from the Democrats. You don’t come to town and announce your Israel policy is to invade Iraq….
Now is it just me or does this sound more like the kind of thing you’d expect to hear from Pat Buchannan (or the like)? This is an absurd, absurd conspiracy theory and the Senator deserves some sort of rebuke for it.
A piece definitely worth reading today:
You Must be Likud! Anti-Jewish rhetoric infects the West.
This article shows how Anti-Jewish rhetoric has now become acceptable and somewhat normal (sadly) in political discourse. There are so many myths out there, and most of them are so bizarre I simply don’t know how they became acceptable in the mainstream.
Oh, and the Likud doesn’t control any American politicians for that matter.
Interesting article I was alerted to by the RJC
At AIPAC parley, pro-Israel policy of Bush trumps domestic agenda
and then there was Cheney’s speech in Florida
It’s food for thought at least
I woke up this morning and turned on the TV to find Rudy Giuliani testifying before the 9/11 panel (interogators I should say).
Giuliani was right on the mark with what he said… however as usual, the panel seemeed more interested in making it a blame game than being productive.
Michele of ASV was blogging during the hearing, read what she has to say.
